Summary: Any attempt to review this book will be superficial
Comment: The front cover says "Everything you ever wanted to know about the unknown"
They were not kidding. This is a series of short essays packed with profound questions and a powerful amount of knowledge to back the questions up. If you are a Gary Zukav fan then this will defiantly be to complex for you.
The contributors are too numerous to mention; however they include information from Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Just as you think this is a past cutting edge physics book, it switches to "What is consciousness and do we really need it?" You will find augments for and against your favorite theories.
